The Catalogue Raisonné Scholars
Association was founded in 1994 to serve the interests of
scholars and others engaged in the catalogue raisonné
process. Our members typically research a single
artist’s body of work to establish a reliable list of
authentic works, their chronology, and history (usually
including provenance, bibliographic, and exhibition
histories). Our membership also includes those who are not
actively engaged in such a project but who have a keen
interest in this type of work such as patrons, collectors,
art dealers, attorneys, and software designers.
